I have realized that my main motivation for using my recumbent bike and treadmill is having good music. Yes, it's nice to have lovely scenery to look at, but if the music is not motivating, I don't end up liking the workout as much. I admit I am a total music geek/snob, though
I have decided to stop buying workouts dvds for cardio equipment. We have a TON of concert dvds. I used a U2 concert dvd to make up my own workouts over the weekend. I just do some sprints/steady state during fast songs, and hills/steady state during slower songs. I kind of improvise for the warm up and cool down.
I can make the workouts as long/short as I want and use the dvd remote to skip around to particular songs if I feel like it.
I'm going to make a stack of concert dvds and figure out what to use next.
Does anyone else do this? I know I could just play cds, but I do like having something to look at, and it's fun to watch the concerts.
